After reading chapter 1 I found that computers are a necessity in today's classrooms. the ARCS Motivational Model captures students attention using alternative techniques while remaining relevant to them, this leads to increased learning. This success promotes self confidence. Before reading chapter 1 I considered computers in classroom more for gaming than actual learning.

Since my last posting i have learned the relevance of technology in and outside of a classroom setting. I have also learned how to post a blog as well as the proper way to make up a test or quiz for my future students.

I can't believe i just spent $117 on a book I am only going to look at for six weeks of my life, we can't even sell them back!!! This Sucks I could have bought an outfit for that much and wear it for a year!!!!!

I was born in Alabama, yet i grew up in Palm Beach. I love the ocean and can't wait until this summer is over so that I can go home. YEAH!!!!


I have very little experience with technology. My past experience has been that technology tends not to work when i need it to. I never even had an e-mail address before I began attending FSU. Lets just say that Technology and i are not friends.

In this coures I would like to learn the basic skills needed to function in the technological world. I would like to advance beyond IM and email. :)
